THAT FOURTH OF JULY SERMON.
What a Member of DR.. Bacon'S Con-
gregation Has to Say About 1t.

What a Member of DR.. Bacon'S Con-
gregation Has to Say About 1t.
Editor Morning News; "QuenI Deus
vuIt oerdere, prior denlentaI." The re-
ported interview with DR.. Bacon in relation
to his sermon last Sunday in the Indepen-
dent Presbyterian church has been an alb
sorbing topic of conversation today. The
Southern people have always objected to the
introduction of political discussions in pull
pit ministrations, believing that subjects Of
greater Importance should be considered by
the true servant of Christ. But lay
ing aside this gross improperly, the
utterances of the reverend gentleman
were utterly abhorreat to his auditors. He
is represented to have said that he wished
to say once and for all that he did not wish
the congregation of that church to accept
him as its pastor under any misrepresentation
as to what he is or what his opinions are"
Let ME inform DR.. Bacon that he need have
no fear on this point. For many months
not few of his congregation have pene-
trated the veil which has concealed his true
animus toward the Southern people. AT the
proper time he will be given the opportunity
OF retiring from a position which he ac-
cepted only to force obnoxious sentiments
upon an unwilling people
The members of the church whose pulpit
he occupies, voluntarily, and almost to a
man. espoused the cause of the South in the
war between the States. They did this from
principle, and no subsequent events have
shaken them in the belief that their cause
was a righteous one. They accord to North
ern men the right to hold their opinions on
the questions in the controversy between
the two sections, but they repel with indig
nation any and all efforts to have those
opinions thrust upon them. Chivalrous
and truthful by nature and education, they
receive with confidence and hospitality
Northern men who come among them with
honest professions of friendship, but it is a
mistake to infer from this fact that they are
lost to all self-respect and TO a true rever-
ence for the traditions of the past
DR.. Bacon has destroyed his opportunities
for doing good among this people and his
mission in this city is at an end.

CHARLESTON, March 1S.-St Patrick 5
dav in Charleston was the bleakest and
coolest ever known here. 1t was, more
over. ushered in at $40 am. by peculiar
and violent shock Of earthquake The
city had been so long free from shakes
that this one was somewhat demoralizing.
The shock-it was not wave-came
from the southeast. 1t was preceded
and accompanied by the usual
subterranean roar, very loud and
dreadful. Then came violent
jerk, the buildings appearing to have
been thrust forward and pulled back,
after which there was a slight tremOr as
the roar died out. Most of the buildings
in Charleston has been rendered earth
quake proof by iron bolts and plates,
otherwise there would have doubtless been
serious damage done. The cracks OF
such buildings as have not yet been re-
paired were widened, windows were rat
tied, and plastering thrown down in a
number OF places. The celebration OF
81. Patrick's Day was not interrupted. II
consisted of pontiical mass, with mill
tarv honors in the new st. Patrick S
Church built since the earthquake, and
a number of banquets and balls last
night.

A DREADFUL DISASTER.
A Buffalo Hotel Burned, with Great Loss
of Life and Property.


BUFFALO, n. Y, March 1S.-A fire
broke out in the new and magnificent
Richmond Hotel early this morning
The fire spread rapidly, and the guests,
reused by the alarm, ran to the windows
and other possible avenues of escape.
When they saw that the flames cut off
their escape to the ground heartrending
shrieks could be heard blocks away. Lad
ders were raised and large number res
cued, but at Z o'clock it is reported that
at least thirty lives have been lost The
hotel burned like a tinder-bOX, the corrl-
dor in the centre of the building acting as
a great funnel.
The fire spread to the Bunnell Museum
building adjoining on Eagle street and
a small frame building adjoining on Main
street, and the three structures were en-
tirely destroyed.
The loss will be very heavy. The hotel
was fitted up at cost of about S6O,OOO,
and the building was valued at $150,O0O.
Bunnelrs Museum was built at cost OF
$4,000, and the loss to the interior fit
tings will probably amount to S25,OOO.
The Richmond Hotel was located at the
corner of Main and Eagle streets, and
was only opened for business month ago.
1t is believed that at least twelve per
sons were burned to death. Many are
badly burned and injured. Mr.. Whitaker
reports that large amount of diamonds
were in the hotel last night. E. b. Rob
ertson, of Lambert & Co., had a stock
valued at $4,000 deposited in a safe.
Mr.. Adler had in his room $50, 900 worth,
and Mr. Smith had another considera-
bic stock, but the amount is not known.
The hotel building and the st. James
Hall were insured for 100000 which
covers the loss to the Library Associa-
ton. Stafford & Co.'s loss is $4,000,
and their insurance $35,5OO. Fuller &
Townsend, proprietors of the Boston
clothing store, estimate their loss at S5O,--
900: covered by insurance. Peter Paul
& Brothers lose 100000; insured. The
loss of Ulbrich & Kingsley is $4,000 /;
covered by insurance. Minor losses are
